‘Gossip Girl’ tour takes on Manhattan

“Gossip Girl” fans can live a day in the life of Serena, Blair, Chuck, Vanessa and the rest of the crew on the hit CW-TV series during a new guided bus tour that takes in more than 40 New York City locations used in filming the show.

The On Location trip, organized by the same folks who originated the” Sex and the City Hotspots” tour, visits sites made famous by the privileged New York teens who populate “Gossip Girl.” Among them are the hotel that is home to the Bass and Van der Woodsen families; the Fifth Avenue building that Blair Waldorf calls home; and sites such as Henri Bendel, where Blair and Serena shop.

Costing $38 per person, the three-hour tour departs from a midtown Manhattan location at noon on Fridays and Sundays. Advance purchase is required.

Contact: On Location Tours or call (212) 209-3370.
